  1. Day 3: Session 1

  2. Strategically Mobilizing Resources

  3. An analogy…

  4. Your Experience…. What are your top tips on mobilizing resources??

  5. Overview • A strategic approach to RM • The corporate RMMS • The SEC Context • New tools – Website, IMPACT, the RM Guide and the RM Intranet

  6. A Strategic Approach

  7. RM – an essential component Quality programming is a vital prerequisite to attracting resources

  8. The RM Cycle

  9. 60% of FAO’s resources come from Voluntary/Extrabudgetary Contributions Resource Mobilization is VITAL to FAO!

  10. FAO’s Biennial RM Target USD 1.6Billion for next PWB

  11. FAO’s Top Resource Partners • EU • USA • MUL • Spain • UNOCHA • Japan • UNDP/MDTF • Canada • Italy • GEF/Belgium • UK • Sweden/Germany

  12. Challenges and Opportunities • Ad-hoc approach • Many small, isolated projects • Fragmentation • Economic crisis • Critique of FAO (MAR, MOPAN, AMA) • New resource partners “on the block”

  13. The Corporate Resource Mobilization and Management Strategy RMMS

  14. The Corporate RMMS The Strategy aims to achieve adequate, more predictable and sustainable voluntary contributions that fully support the achievement of FAO’s objectivesat the global, regional, subregional and country levels

  15. RMMS – Outcomes Expanding resource partnerships Communicatingpriorities for RM Enhancing RM capacities Effectively manage and report on resources

  16. Guiding Principles All resource mobilization efforts should.... Support FAO’s Strategic Framework and Members’ priorities Comply with FAO’s rules and regulations Are built on trust and mutual accountability Are monitored and accounted for Are coordinated and harmonized Organization-wide

  17. RM roles and responsibilities Corporate-level: the TC Department has the lead role, OSP, OCE, TDs/Strategy Team Leaders have a key function Regional level: ADG oversees all RM activities, with specific responsibilities assigned to FP Officers and TOs Subregional level: the SRC manages all resource mobilization efforts with support from TOs and FP Support and Monitoring Officers, and the Regional Emergency Coordinator (where present) Country level: FAOR lead role supported by the AFAOR, the Chief TA, and the Emergency Coordinator

  18. IT’S TEAMWORK!

  19. The SEC Context From Headquarters to the Country Level Presenter’s name

  20. RM Trends in SEC SEC: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan ODA to the sub-region from OECD countries (for FAO-related sectors) has been increasing, peaking in 2010 with roughly USD 1.2 billion. Turkey is by far the largest recipient in the region, accounting for roughly 58% of the total figure.

  21. Delivery by SEC Office(Emergency and Non-Emergency, 2010-2012)

  22. SEC’s TOP 10 Resource Partners Spending in Agriculture-related Sectors (Source: ADAM (OECD-DAC), 2006-2012) EU World Bank (IBRD) EBRD World Bank (IDA) United States France AsDB Special Funds AsDB Germany Japan FAO (Source: FPMIS, 2006-2012) EU FAO (TCP) Turkey Canada Sweden AsDB Italy UK Tajikistan UNDP

  23. Most Funded Agricultural Subsectors in SEC from 2006-2010

  24. FAO’s new RMMS and its relation to SEC Goal of RM strategy: Adequate, more predictable and sustainable voluntary contributions which fully support achievement of FAO’s objectives at the global, regional, sub-regional and country levels • Proposed outcomes: • Consolidation, diversification and expansion of FAO’s resource partnerships • Strengthened awareness among partners and member countries about FAO’s comparative advantage through effective communication • Develop capacity for staff to mobilize resources • Ensure that resources are effectively managed for results to report them internally (to governing bodies) and externally (to partners and donors).

  25. 1. Consolidation, diversification and expansion of FAO’s resource partnerships • What is HQ doing? • Facilitating the expansion of new modalities such as UTFs, SSC, private sector partnership • Push towards decentralization will result in an increased effort to align global programmes to country priorities, meaning countries could have access to funds they might not have known about in the past • New corporate tools such as ADAM enable new donors to be identified

  26. 1. Consolidation, diversification and expansion of FAO’s resource partnerships • How does this relate to SEC? • Traditional resource partners such as the EU, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have been returning to agriculture in the last years. • Possibilities with new partners: Turkish Trust Fund already due for a second phase, while Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan can be conceived of as new potential donors. • The private sector presents enormous potential, but currently the capacity and the training do not exist so as to exploit it. • Multilateral and new institutions (such as GEF) are already being tapped into as possible funding sources

  27. 2. Improved communication for RM • What is HQ doing? • The RM website, launched last year, brings visibility for areas where FAO requires resources www.fao.org/tc/rm • The Impact launch is repackaging the way FAO presents its technical programmes to make them more eye-grabbing to partners • A series of biennial informal meetings for resource partners are helping to better advertise funding needs alongside FAO success stories, meeting with great approval from participants so far

  28. 2. Improved communication for RM • How does this relate to SEC? • SEC can work on advocacy tools (concept notes, project proposals, brochures, presentations, websites) • FAO’s Impact initiative can help SEC to package their communications in an attractive and consistent manner • The RM website, launched last year, can also help with communication, through the Partnerships in Action section. • www.fao.org/tc/rm

  29. 3. Capacity development for RM • How can HQ support SEC? • RM Guide developed for FAO staff • Intranet platform developed in an effort to equip all FAO staff with the info they need at a finger tip • ECP has now trained staff in seven sub-regions • Increased training focus on communication, negotiation and new modalities and new donors • TCSR reorientating itself to be increasingly on-hand to support DOs

  30. 4. Reporting and Management of Resources • How can HQ support SEC? • The Field Programme Support Network can help project officers to overcome difficulties • The reports unit is being revitalized so as to make terminal reports more attractive to resource partners, therefore increasing the likelihood of further funding • FAO now reporting more visibly on its funding needs to Members and donors, meaning funding gaps have more chance of being bridged

  31. Opportunities with Donors • Many donors of different types have field offices in SEC, offering a number of opportunities for partnership and resource mobilization at the national level: • Multilateral Organizations • Asian Development Bank, EBRD, European Union, IMF, Islamic Development Bank, World Bank Group, GEF • Bilateral Donors • Germany, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, USA • International NGOs • Aga Khan Development Network, Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development, Danish Refugee Council, Eurasia Foundation of Central Asia, FINCA International, Helvetas, International Fertilizer Development Center, Japan International Cooperation Center, Open Society Institute, Population services International, the Regional Environmental Center for Central Asia and Winrock

  32. New tools • Websitewww.fao.org/tc/resource-mobilization • IMPACTwww.fao.org/about/en/ • RM Guide and Intranet home.fao.org/rm • ADAM www.fao.org/tc/adam

  37. Preparing the Strategy/Action Plan (see Guidance note) • Resource Mobilization Situation Analysis…looking at resource trends, the office’s capacity to deliver, and a list of potential resource partners, identified in the Resource Partner Matrix • The Resource Target...in line with the CPF Results Matrix

  38. Achieving Cont’ • The RM Action Plan... outlining a list of activities, roles and a timeframe, in line with the outcomes of the RM Strategy and a set of RM Principles • Monitoring and Evaluation... detailing how RM efforts will be tracked, reviewed and adjusted
